Or in fact, all the lightbulbs
Don't get me wrong, I like energy saver globes where appropriate, but I can't read by them, the light isn't good enough. And before you suggest putting in a brighter globe, when I moved in here we discovered that putting 100w globes inbew them within minutes, the wiring isn't designed for it.
So I use a mixture of energy saving and incandescents. I don't think that being forced to change to something which will require me somehow - lack of powerpoints plus load on any one powerpoint being a factor - to plug in another appliance seems somewhat counter productive to me.
*grumble*
If they imrpove the technology and/or take into account these not so little issues then maybe it would be more practical.
